Early age-related macular degeneration has no effect on incident coronary heart disease in humans (Relative risk 1.08, 95% CI 0.82-1.42).
“early AMD was not associated with incident CHD (relative risk, 1.08; 95% confidence interval, 0.82-1.42).”

Late age-related macular degeneration is associated with incident coronary heart disease in humans (10-year cumulative incidence 30.9% versus 10.0%).

Retinal asymmetry between eyes is linked to cardiovascular risk

Across 46,836 adults, each standard deviation increase in retinal nerve fiber layer asymmetry was linked to hazard ratios from ~1.07 for atrial fibrillation to 1.15 for…Across 46,836 adults, each standard deviation increase in retinal nerve fiber layer asymmetry was linked to hazard ratios from ~1.07 for atrial fibrillation to 1.15 for heart failure.
